Slope = -4/5

to calculate the slope m use the gradient form

m = y2 -y1
————
x2 - x1

let (x1, y1) = (3,1) and (x2, y2) = (-2, 5)

m = 5 - 1 4
———- = ——-
-2 - 3 -5

= - 4/5

1. In a game, if you roll a 6 on a 6-sided number cube, you lose a turn.

Mademuasel [1]

A) 1/6
B) 5/6
C) 1
D) 20

Explanation:

A) There is one 6 on a 6-sided die, out of 6 numbers.

B) There are 5 numbers that are not 6 on a 6 sided die, out of 6 numbers.

C) P( 6 or ~6) = P(6) + P(~6) = 1/6 + 5/6 = 6/6 = 1

D) 1/6(120) = 120/6 = 20

Sanjay graphs a quadratic function that has x-intercepts of –3 and 7. Which functions could he have graphed?

kykrilka [37]

we will select each options and find zeros

(a)

$g(x)=x^2-4x-21$

for finding x-intercept , we can set g(x)=0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=x^2-4x-21=0$

now, we can factor it

$(x-7)(x+3)=0$

we get

$x=7,x=-3$

so, this is TRUE

(b)

$g(x)=(x-3)(x+7)$

we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=(x-3)(x+7)=0$

we get

$x=3,x=-7$

so, this is FALSE

(c)

$g(x)=3x^2-12x-63$

we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=3x^2-12x-63 =0$

$3(x^2-4x-21) =0$

$3(x-7)(x+3) =0$

$x=-3,x=7$

so, this is TRUE

(d)

$g(x)=-(x+3)(x-7)$

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=-(x+3)(x-7)=0$

$x=-3,x=7$

so, this is TRUE

(e)

we have

$g(x)=x^2+4x-21$

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=x^2+4x-21=0$

$(x+7)(x-3)=0$

$x=-7,x=3$

so, this is FALSE

Which is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-5, -2)

Lilit [14]

Answer:

F) y=3x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-2)=3(x-(-5))

y+2=3(x+5)

y=3x+15-2

y=3x+13
